Dry eye disease
If main component in dry eye is evaporation . Then will general eye drops like genteal and refresh will be effective for it? Or you need some specific lubricant drop for the evaporative component which will be more focused on the lipid layer rather than the aqueous layer. Is comfortz eye drop containing dextran plus propenol specifically for evaporative dry eye? Please Tell me the brand which is good for evaporation problem. Be it systane ultra or something else. Or if a comprehensive drop which will address both the components( aqueous deficiency and oil deficiency.) will be good.360 degree approach lubricant for the dry eyes. Also I am very young for this dry eye. Do I need to do warm compresses as well. Docs usually tell drops but very few opthalmologists I have seen recommending warm compresses. It's required or not? .
